For example, if you make a claim after using your pass for prior skiing days, the refund will reflect these prior uses and reimbursement will be minus these dates.

If you have already purchased your pass and wish to purchase pass insurance, please call our Season Pass Office at 888-ARAPAHOE. Ski Pass Insurance is offered until the beginning of the ski season or 30 days after you purchase your season pass (whichever date comes later).
